Earlier this month I delivered my proposed 2014 Manitowoc County budget to the County Board. They'll deliberate on it for the next few weeks; invite your comments at a public hearing next Monday night, and take final action on Nov. 19.

Our budget process doesn't occur in a vacuum. We are keenly aware of our responsibility to so many in our community. The last few years have been especially difficult. Everyone has been affected. Low economic growth and property deflation have resulted in higher than average unemployment here.
